I think it’s more the other way round. I don’t think great zoom is a must for the average user. Most want great stills with a point and shoot. Good zoom is great but I wouldn’t say it’s a must have for most people with what they take photos for
i guess your opinion is as good(or bad) as mine. i'm thinking of all the hiking i've been doing whilst social distancing. i could really go for a 4-5x zoom. the stills imho are just fine, unless we get into the whole low light discussion)
I agree great zoom is only thing really missing from the iPhone camera. Sounds like got to wait two years and hopefully will be worth the wait
yea.. i kind of want a new phone already. although i've got to say — my xs is still performing perfectly!
Yeah, for all those 8K displays and all that 8K content that's out there.
You’re just describing the chicken and the egg problem. Not to mention that people tend to keep these devices for years.
There's a point at which chasing more pixels doesn't make sense for most uses, and 8K is definitely past that.
I’m buying one. Just because you obviously can’t fathom the technology doesn’t mean it’s not the future. Apple doesn’t need to play to the poor.
As I see it, that is the point. Increasing output device resolution to the point where it ceases to be a limitation, and technical evolution focuses on other concerns.
And this may only be a small point, but 8K has a vertical resolution of 4320. Decades worth of SD 480 content goes into it an even 9 times. Watching old content on an 8K TV should look slightly better than on 4K.
Totally agree. Being first is not always the best. 8k on a phone right now is kinda pointless.
Oh fun, I woke up to find that “Precursor” went on a drunken thumbs-down spree on multiple articles I commented on across a large swath of time Lmao
